The role combines hands-on backend development with architectural ownership, giving you influence over both technical direction and execution. You will design and scale high-throughput systems and data pipelines that power real-time optimization decisions. Working alongside experienced engineers across EMEA, you will contribute to a product used by thousands of organizations worldwide. This is a deeply technical role for engineers who enjoy solving complex distributed systems challenges while shaping long-term platform architecture.
Accountabilities:
- Design, build, and maintain large-scale distributed backend systems and high-throughput data pipelines, primarily using Go and modern cloud-native technologies.
- Take ownership of system architecture decisions, ensuring performance, scalability, reliability, and resilience across the platform.
- Actively contribute high-quality production code while driving technical direction and reducing system complexity and technical debt.
- Lead key engineering initiatives related to Kubernetes optimization, backend services, and data-intensive workloads.
- Collaborate closely with product, engineering, and R&D teams to define technical roadmaps and translate product requirements into scalable solutions.
- Improve engineering standards across testing, observability, CI/CD, and infrastructure practices.
- Mentor engineers and contribute to a strong culture of technical excellence and continuous improvement.
Requirements:
- 8–15+ years of backend engineering experience, including strong expertise in distributed systems and production-grade architectures.
- At least 2–3 years of hands-on commercial experience with Go as a primary programming language.
- Strong backend development experience in Java, Rust, or Python, with a deep understanding of scalable system design.
- Proven track record of building and maintaining high-load data pipelines and cloud-native microservices architectures.
- Strong experience with databases such as PostgreSQL and ideally ClickHouse or similar analytical systems.
- Solid understanding of containerized environments and DevOps practices, including Docker, Kubernetes, GitOps, CI/CD.
- Strong debugging, performance tuning, and benchmarking skills with a hands-on engineering mindset.
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to collaborate across distributed, cross-functional teams.
Benefits:
- Competitive salary with equity participation via employee stock option plan
- Unlimited paid time off and flexible working arrangements
- Fully remote-first working model across EMEA and selected global regions
- Health insurance and parental leave coverage
- Home office allowance and professional development budget
- Access to peer recognition programs and global engineering communities
- Opportunity to work on cutting-edge Kubernetes and AI-driven infrastructure products
- International, distributed team culture with strong emphasis on autonomy and flexibility
